MAYOR DAVIS REsIGNs.-As will be seen
by a card in another column, addressed to
the Board of Town Commissioners, Mayor
Davis has rendered his resignation as
Mayor of Henderson, to take effect Sept.
1st. This step is taken after mature
thought, and Mr.. Davis assures US with
many personal regrets. Our citizens are
aware that his health has not been good
for the past few months making the duties
and requirements of both his public and
private affairs too great a strain upon him,
and under advice he has thought proper to
resign the Office. Under the circumstances
ne are sure his friends will understand
and appreciate his action. In justice to
Mr. Davis the GOLD LEAF takes occasion
to say that in retiring he has cause 10 feel
a consciousness Of duty we'll performed
during his short official career, and will
take with him into private life again the
cordial esteem and high regard of the peo-
pie OF the town without regard TO race or
Social position.

MORE OF THE SAME kIND.-Thc GOLD
LEAF took occasion last week to say some
thing of the capabilities of Vance county in
the way of raising fine fruits and vegeta-
bles. And now comes few more articles
worth mentioning. We were shown last
Saturday watermelon raised by Mr.. r.
l.. Daingerfield that weighed 55A pounds.
Mr.. d. tells us he has had as many as 80
this year that he thinks would have
weighed from s. to 80 pounds. Mr.. Dam
gerfield is not only one Of the best bank
officials in the State, but very successful
agriculturist and stockman who takes great
interest in such things.
Col. W. H. Cheek shows the king of cam
taloupes. Il weighs 26A pounds, perfectly
formed in every way, and all who saw it
agree that it is a long ways AHEAD Of any
thing of the kind so far.
Mr.. A. Hatchett tells us he has tomato
vine in his garden from which IS large,
we'll formed tomatoes were gathered Mon
day morning, and he is confident nearly a
bushel have been taken from it altogether.
Our friend Scott Parker does not brag
much on big vegetables and "sich." but
says he can beat the State on the longest
pumpkin vine. He has not had it sur
veyed yet but says as o N as it stops grow

The GOLD LEAF had the pleasure of an
agreeable visit from its friend Mr.. j. z,
Iaithcock of WILLIAMSBURG, Monday. He
was just returning from q stay OF some
weeks at the famous health resorts In the
| Western part Of the State and spoke enthu-
siastically of that beautiful and highly
favored section. Mr.. Haithcock is one OF
| Vance coun.y's most active and intelligent
citizens, and a very successful merchant
| and farmer.
| One of the editorial writers of the Char.
1otte Chronicle is Mr.. James 4. Robinson,
who at one time lived in Oxford. He has
read what the GOLD LEAF said about that
| town last week as the following paragraph
| shows. He says:
! 1--WE knew that Oxford had pluck and
would take new start as soon as the ashes
of her recent fire cooled. So she has. There
are now twenty brick stores in course of

the contrary. It remains to be seen how
ever how the late tobacco will turn out
The rains have caused it to grow too coarse
and heavy for best results, and it is feared
that it will not yellow in the field as ii
otherwise doubtless would have done.
When this is the case good work in the
barn, as to color, cannot be done.
Taken upon the whole the trade Of the
town has been better this summer than
during any previous year. Already we
have sold more tobacco than we did the
whole of last year and the crop is not all
| in yet. This is evidence that Henderson is
largely increasing her trade-that she is
widening the territory from which she
draws it-that its Importance as trading
point is becoming better known and more
appreciated. Whether as place to buy
or sell, no competing market offers equal
inducements.

LET THE MATTER BE LOOKED AFTER
From what the GOLD LEAF learns some
bad conduct is allowed at the county Jail.
A white man confined therein seems to he
the unfortunate object upon which the
negro prist confined with him delight
to exercise their insolence by haunting and
annoying him in a manner that is outrage
Gus and should not be tolerated. The GOLD
LEAF demands that an investigation be
had at once and this thing stopped. In the
first place it does not believe that white
and black prisoners should be confined to-
gether, and then weak and unfortunate
creature like the man referred to would
not be subjected to such ill treatment
bodily punishment, in fact, if what we are
told he true-at the hands of the negro
criminals who find lodgment in the
county prison.

LUCKY LITTLETON.-We see it stated
that number of gentlemen from Carlisle,
Pa, have purchased one thousand acres of
land near Littleton, and will engage in
the stock-raising business. The GOLD
LEAF wishes them all possible success.
There are many excellent people from the
North who have settled in and around
Littleton within the past few years, and
we have yet to hear of any disappointment
or dissatisfaction with the country or the
citizens thereof. These are the kind of
people we want and it is always gratifying
to hear of the coming amongst us of such.
There is room for more throughout every

ton is given and a friendly welcome
will be extended to good citizens from

you can't afford yourself little unusual

How the suex Canal Is worked.

A writer In the Saturday Review de-
@ribes how the traffic along the Sucz
ANAL is directed and controlled from the
flee at Terrep!e;n, near slez. The
lumber Of ships In the canal at the same
ime ~ very great. Onthe 9Th Of Deem
,er last, for example, fifteen steamers
cleared the canal, OF which fcycn were
Jutward-bognd. On the previous day
nine ships cleared, and on the following
lay seven, so that durng the 9Th some
thirty ships were probably at one time in
he canal. Sometimes there are as many
~ forty, and all are completely under the
'ontrol OF the French gentleman sitting
Vt his desk in an upper chamber at
cerrepleiu. The method OF working 10
exceedingly simple. Against the wall at
me side Of the room il narrow shelf OF
platform, along which runs a grove. At
intervals this trough or groove has deep
eeesses, AMI at two places these rccesses
ire Of larger size. This trough or groove
represents the canal. The recesses are
he sidings. The larger intervals are
he Great Bitter Lake and Lake Timsoh,
When vessel has been sigpaled and is
tbout TO enter the canal at, say, the Suex
md, a small toy-boat or model, three or
nur inches long, Is chosen 70 represent
ier. A Agroupof these modcl-ships stands
eady beside the moiel-canal, each fur.
'ishcd with flag. About forty have the
;nglish flag, ten or dozen the French
lag, aud so on with o.1,cr natioualities.

Tor passing through the canal are often
enormous. Some Of the large liners of
the Z. e. o. or the Orient service pay as
much as El 80 in making a single tran
sit. For every passenger half napoleon,
or shilings pence, Is charged. Three
!ourths OF the ships that go through the
canal are Engliah.
